Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 147 Ascension

"Why are..." Kingsley said before cutting himself off.

He realized his mistake. He was letting what he saw affect him, that shouldn't be. Though he definitely was scarred after what he saw but it didn't mean that he should let it affect him

"I'm sorry, what were you asking for?" Kingsley asked as he relaxed his aura and his mind

He couldn't lie to himself to say that all he had seen didn't have any effect on him. His sights not only caught the war crimes that his demons actively enjoyed.

He could also see what all his governors were up to and looking at it all. Kingsley felt as though he was surrounded by murderous monsters.

"My lord, Viktor was worried that all you have seen may be too much but it seems that worry is no longer needed" Hestia said with a smile 

"You don't have to worry about that, it is something i have seen and I'm bound to see" Kingsley replied

"If you say so, your majesty" Hestia said before she faded out 

Now with a smile on his face, Kingsley finally focused on his duty with a better outlook on things. 

It didn't matter how or what method his men and governors used, all that mattered to him now was to conquer the entire region.

…

Lord [Henry] has submitted to you

Lord [Gift] has submitted to you

You have conquered a territory

You have conquered a territory...

...

The messages kept on coming almost as though it was a flood until Kingsley had no other choice but to turn off his notifications.

As the notifications, he felt himself getting stronger within steady intervals. It was an interesting feeling but at the moment, it wasn't worth much to him.

The current amount of power flowing through his body was more than a billion times more potent that whatever each level up gave him

"Five thousand and fifty governors... wait does that mean?" Kingsley said as he sat up on his throne

…

Level up [99] > [100]

…

As soon as he saw the number, Kingsley felt a whole new level of vitality flow through his body. It was as though he was reborn anew.

World Announcement

Individual Ascension

Attention to all lords, the Individual, King [Kingsley Set] of the Deus Kingdom has transcended. The following effects and titles will be applied:

First Ascender: All stats are increased by 200 and the skill growth rate shall be increased by 30%

First Tier: As an ascended, the individual gets to chose a divine path to follow. Due to the restrictions placed on the individual [Kingsley Set], this effect shall not take place.

Divine Aura: Within the presence of the ascended, all must bow. The effects of this doubles when it's targeted at those of the same race.

....

A system announcement was made as Kingsley explored the new changes in his body. From his much more powerful body to his mind.

Everything about him had changed, the most obvious being his height and his looks. The large mirror before him proved so.

His clothes felt a lot smaller compared to him but soon grew to match him. The throne too felt small but using his abilities, he increased the size of the throne as well.

However the major thing that shocked him wasn't just his height even if he was grateful about escaping his short king status.

The thing that surprised him the most was the halo over his head. It shone with holy light, masking his face even from himself.

He could only tell that his looks had greatly improved because he could somehow control the intensity of its shine.

"Is this an ascension into the god realm or something?" Kingsley asked surprised by the changes.

*Thud*

Kingsley heard several heavy thuds and turning to its source, He saw the thrones, all on their knees. All ten giants angel could be seen with one knee on the ground, their wings tucked behind them and their right hands folded into their chest.

It was the standard knight's salute to their master or king. It was a normal thing his subordinates had always done. Even the Euroan Knights greeted him in this format

However this was different, the Thrones had only bowed to him once and that was after their creation. Things really has changed.

"Rise" Kingsley said in a surprisingly much more dignified voice than ever.

"Yes, your majesty " they replied before standing and returning to their positions.

Seeing that they had returned back to heir various positions around the throne room, Kingsley spread his senses to see his kingdom again but like the Thrones, he saw them on their knees as well.

Many of them were on both knees and with their heads bowed as though praying, while some followed after the Thrones to give a knights salute.

This included both human and the natives, all was bowing in the direction of the castle.

"Wow this ascension is really cool" Kingsley noted as he forced them all to stand

He wasn't a god and he didn't need their worship, what he needed was his family and that was all. After observing all his new features, Kingsley sat back on his now adjusted throne and continued to observe his realm.

...

Congratulations on being the first to ascend, you shall receive the following rewards:

*+500 hectares to your territory

*Special building [Temple]

*Ability [Hero Creation]

...

"Huh?" Kingsley asked staring at the hologram before him.

The system actually let him have a building. Was there something wrong with the system or something, Was this his lucky day

"Wait a minute, temple... Don't tell me" Kingsley thought as he quickly expanded his consciousness and soon he saw it.

The massive building that now stood at the middle of his city... No, it was everywhere. In all territories both governor and native.

there it was standing tall and magnificent, the building resembled those Greek temples back on Earth. It was magnificent and beautiful beyond compare but Kingsley wanted to die of embarrassment.
